Put the veal cheeks on the herb salt and put in the fridge for about 4 hours. Turn the cheeks after 2 hours. Bring the temperature of the EGG to 160 °C. Rinse the veal cheeks and pat dry. Clean the vegetables and cut them into chunks. Cut the garlic bulb in half widthways. Place the vegetables, veal cheeks, garlic and herbs and spices in the Dutch oven. Sprinkle 1 handful of cherry smoke chips on the charcoal, place the heat shield and the grid and place the Dutch oven on it. The temperature will drop to about 120 °C; let it smoke for about 30 minutes. Remove the Dutch oven, the grid and the heat shield from the EGG. Put the grid back and bring the temperature of the EGG to 180 °C. Put the Dutch oven back and wait until the veal cheeks are slightly colored. Deglaze with the red wine and wait for it to come to a boil. Pour in the beef stock and bring to a boil again. Place the heat shield back between the charcoal and the grid so that the temperature drops to about 140 °C.

Mix the granulated sugar with the cinnamon and combine it with the raisins, pine nuts and panko with the apple. Melt the butter. Remove the needles from the rosemary and chop them finely. Place a slice of phyllo dough on your work surface and drizzle with melted butter. Cover with a slice of phyllo pastry and sprinkle it with the melted butter. Repeat until you have used all the dough sheets. Divide the apple mixture on the bottom of the long side of the dough. Keep approx. 5 cm free from the sides. Fold the sides over the apple and roll up the dough. Place the apple strudel on the seam. Brush with the rest of the melted butter and sprinkle with rosemary. Place the apple strudel on the cold floured pizza stone. Place these on the grid and bake the apple strudel for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
